Submodel differentiation based on PCB revision

Prototypes

PP1

  • Models
    • MSU PP 1.2 MAIN ALPS

Notable differences include

  • Plastic finish being glossy
  • Player LEDs arranged in a square around the USB-mini port and includes a clear plastic shield over the opening for the LEDs
  • PS Home button is clear and retains a red LED underneath it
  • L2 and R2 buttons are present as opposed to Triggers
  • Motors are present
  • Battery inside contains a sticker with the date 2006/3/2 and the model of the batter appears to be longer
  • Lacks the pinhole and switch on the back
  • Label on the front reads Gセンサー搭載 Stick動作せず once roughly translated it reads Powered by the G Sensor, without moving the stick
  • Label on the back reads 0604KATA2
  • Toshiba MCU is on top side of the board (in all the other models is at bottom)
  • The main board was designed without gyroscope and without accelerometer sensors, it has a "children board" sticked on top manufactured by HDK (the first 2 letters of the "HDK" brand are partially visible etched on copper on the children board), this children board includes the accelerometer HDK HAAM 325B [1]. It outputs 3 signals on the 3 white wires "hand made" soldered to the TOSHIBA controller to retrieve the axis data. The other "hand made" soldered component uses 3 wires (black = ground, red = volts, and yellow soldered to TP26) seems to be a Murata ENC-03R Gyroscope Sensor [2]. It seems both components was integrated later in the circuit board of the controllers labeled "sixaxis"

Internally the Gyroscopic sensor for Sixaxis controllers is wired onto the board - presumably as a test for a sensor revision on a spare sample board. The sensor itself appears to be far from complete and very early. Windows (10) detects the controller when connected via USB; analog sticks do not get detected but all other buttons do. The controller does not work on DECHA00A/J units, but might work on DECR units or earlier.

Ways to tell if the controller is not original

Dualshock 3 fake (leds light transpassing the plastic case)
  • The SONY logo on the top of a counterfeit controller will not be aligned correctly with a originall controller.
  • Different sticker label
    • Counterfeit controllers have an extra screw on the back, hidden beneath the sticker.
    • The label on the back of a counterfeit controller will be paper sticker.
    • The label on the back of an official controller will have a thin layer of plastic over the paper sticker, giving it a matte finish and a more protected feel.
    • The paper label on the back of a counterfeit controller will not be correctly aligned with the shape of the device on the back, as it was most likely put on by hand.
  • Buttons
    • The center Home button on a counterfeit controller will be marginally darker than the Home button on an official controller.
    • Square, Triangle, Circle, and Cross buttons will be raised higher on a counterfeit controller.
    • The colors of these face buttons will be dull, compared to the bright colors of an official DualShock 3.
  • Sticks
    • Compared to an official controller, the seams beneath the analog sticks where the bottom and top halves of the plastic meet will be sharp.
  • Leds
    • The LEDs lights on the controller that signify which Player it is controlling will not be flush with the outside shell. Official controllers ARE level all the way across.
    • When you turn on a counterfeit the controller, the flashing red lights on the outside will actually shine THROUGH the casing of the device, something that would never happen on an official product.
  • Syncing
    • If you have consistent trouble wirelessly syncing your controller to your PS3, the device may be counterfeit.

Homebrew

  • PS Seismograph 0.2.0 from Deroad:
I have updated my homebrew to 0.2.0. now it supports all tv resolution (old versions were only for 1080p/i tv)
This is a simple Seismograph for ps3. it uses all the axis of the first controller.
